Pottery basics

The book contains everything you need to know to create beautiful ceramic objects on your own. Step by step, it guides you through the essential basic techniques for shaping and decorating with photos and precise instructions, complemented by firing methods and interesting projects where you can immediately apply what you’ve learned. There is plenty of room for your own creativity.

Learn about the different types of clay and building methods such as thumb and coil techniques. Try your hand at throwing and trimming on the potter's wheel, and develop your own style in surface design. Work on fun projects where you can implement what you've learned—whether it’s built vases or marbled containers with transparent glazes. Create interestingly structured vessels using clear instructions with inlay, engobe, sgraffito, slip trailing, polishing, and carving techniques.
